Good afternoon,

I am looking to work out a value from the last business day,

i.e. if Monday, look back to Friday etc

So far I have the previous days dax as follows:

Boxes put away previous day =

CALCULATE(

SUM('Stock replenishment records'[Box est v2]),

'Stock replenishment records'[Date] = TODAY() - 1)

Can anyone adivse how the dax can calculate and remove weekends to refer to a Friday?

Many thansk in advance.....

Hi ajaydavidluke ,

Please have a try.

Create columns.

weekday=weekday('table'[date],2)

weeknum=weeknum('table'[date],2)

Then create a measure.

Boxes put away previous day = VAR _1 = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Stock replenishment records'[Box est v2] ), 'Stock replenishment records'[Date] = TODAY () - 1 ) VAR _value = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Stock replenishment records'[Box est v2] ), 'Stock replenishment records'[Date] = TODAY () - 3 ) RETURN IF ( 'table'[weekday] = 1, _value, _1 )

If I have misunderstood your meaning, please provide more details withyour desired output and pbix file without privacy infotmaion ( Or some smple data).

Hi ajaydavidluke ,

My fault, I forgot it was a measure and not a column. Please modify the measure again.
